“In the pursuit of knowledge,
everyday something is added.
In the practice of the Way,
everyday something is dropped.
Less and less do you need to force things,
until finally you arrive at non-action.
When nothing is done,
nothing is left undone.”

I let go of some anger and bitterness today.
I learned that this makes for a better day.
I should already know that, I realize this. But I forget and also find it hard to do.
Live and learn, and live with more tranquility.
Sorry. No zen quote there but, you get my drift. 🙂

Since we are in the middle of moving, we let go of a lot of things – 3 meters of our beloved books, among other things. Yes, that feels good. Even if it does not really mean we are travelling light now. The remaining books will be odered differently, too – and that’s part of the fun of moving (even if my back does not agree with the last statement).
Humans, it seems, are made for moving … treading the savannas …
More generally I always hope to “let go” of something I learned, sharing what I seem to know …

It says a lot that after one of the great ordeals known to humankind you are still able to provide a thoughtful and provocative (and hopeful!) comment! Congratulations on retaining your sanity and sense of humor. (It’s important not to give those up, I think.)

P.S. We did the same last year with our books when we moved to Northampton, and never missed a beat. “Treading the savannas” — I love it.
Good luck to you both, and stay in touch as you can.

I’m letting go of some anger. I’ve learnt that in spite of that broken trust is almost impossible to ‘mend’, it was once granted to me and now I’m trying to give back. Eekk..that got way too complicated and personal, but you get the basic idea…

It’s a nice picture. Is it one of those things you put underneath pots?

It’s a great quote. Today I let go of another ounce of perfection (painting door trim) and I learned that our friend Frizz is a painter, among many other talents. It’s a great day! Hope the same for you.
